Suits: Ethics? We Don't Need No Stinkin' Ethics

If you'll recall, last week instead of focusing on this
season of Suits' plot, I blathered on
about cats. I'm not sorry. Cats rule. #noapologies.

Of course, not even I thought that my (excessive?) focus on
cats last week would actually be important to this week's episode. But sure
enough, last week's cat trial generated this week's secondary plot, Harold
suing Louis. That's what you call vindication, boys and girls.

During the course of the evening, Suits
came up. She told me about this joke that her fellow law students in her ethics
class (I know, I'm just as shocked as you are that they have ethics classes in
law school.) tell. How do you know what
the right answer is in ethics class? Just do the opposite of whatever they do
in Suits.

I bring this up not only to brag about my social life, but
also to point out how right this week's episode proved her to be. If lack of
ethics were a contest, this week's winner would be Darby, who lies about a
conversation he never actually had with Steven about the murder Steven
authorized in Africa.

Sure, there were plenty of other lies, deceptions, and
lawless deeds to choose from, but any time the head of an international law
firm will lie to the opposing consul in order to save his client, who is
special to him because she enabled him to be secretly gay with her father...
well, that just takes the cake.

So to recap: cats rule, I go out with women, and Suits is a great tutor on what not to do
in any ethical situation.
